From a family run house dating back five generations, this expression is a masterwork of patience, blending eaux-de-vie from all six crus to create a Cognac that is as refined as it is expressive.

Camus XO Elegance
Brand: Camus | Category: XO Cognac | ABV: 40% | Origin: Cognac, France | Vol: 70cl

Tasting Profile:
Nose: Deeply aromatic, a rich swirl of dried apricots, candied orange peel, jasmine, toasted oak, and a touch of cinnamon. Like opening a cedar chest filled with fruit and spice.
Palate: Velvety and full-bodied, flavors of fig, crème brûlée, walnut, vanilla bean, and gentle spice unfold in layers. Wonderfully smooth and mouth coating, without ever feeling heavy.
Finish: Long and graceful, honeyed fruit, leather, and soft tobacco linger with polished warmth and subtle elegance.

Production Details:
Camus XO Elegance blends eaux-de-vie aged for at least 10 years, sourced from all six Cognac crus, with a notable influence from the Borderies, known for adding floral richness. Each parcel is matured in fine grained French oak, and the final blend is assembled with precision to highlight aromatic complexity over sweetness. It’s bottled without additives, preserving the purity of the spirit.

Perfect For:
Unwinding after a long evening, writing late night thoughts by candlelight, or sharing a quiet toast with someone who appreciates grace over grandeur. It’s a Cognac for reflection, not rush.

Expert Notes:
Praised for its exceptional aromatic complexity and smooth profile, Camus XO Elegance is often regarded as one of the more refined XO Cognacs in its class. Critics note its brightness and floral lift, a signature of Camus' Borderies-forward style, setting it apart from heavier, oakier XOs.

Customer Reviews:
🗣️ “Elegant is the right word. Subtle, floral, and endlessly smooth. My go-to Cognac.”

Interesting Fact:
Camus is one of the few major Cognac houses still independently owned and family run, now in its fifth generation. This gives them full control over vineyard practices, distillation, and aging.

Serving Suggestions:
Serve neat in a tulip or balloon glass to capture its full bouquet. Let it rest a few minutes before sipping to unlock its floral layers. For an elevated experience, pair it with roasted almonds, dark chocolate, or a cigar with a light draw.
